With a life literally on wheels, Fernando Arroyo and Valeria Sáenz , thanks to an innovative initiative, have taken the practice of this sport to a new level for cycle tourists with the opening of the first Bikefriendly accommodation in Mexico.
Through Arroyo Cycling Center and in collaboration with Hacienda Soltepec , the grand opening took place on February 4th, unveiling the plaque of the "HOUSE OF BICYCLES" complex, a project that makes Hacienda Soltepec the first Bikefriendly Hotel with the International Bikefriendly quality seal in Mexico.
At this event, the owners of the Hacienda had the valuable presence of Mr. Salvador Santos Cedillo, Municipal President of Huamantla, Mr. José Luis Sosa, General Director of the Mexican Sports Tourism Council, Mr. Renato Sánchez Rojas, Municipal President of Ixtenco, and Mr. Salvador Flores, Manager of the Chocolate Mayordomo company.
The entire complex is designed to provide cyclists with a memorable stay , as it's a space created by cyclists for cyclists. Currently, the Hacienda offers a structured schedule to cater to both road and mountain bikers . Another major attraction is La Malinche National Park , located just 2 km away at an altitude of 4.420 meters.
Fernando and Valeria know that trusting Bikefriendly is becoming part of a group that understands the needs of cyclists and pursues rigorous quality standards when implementing each service.
"Knowing the value and importance that the government places on health and the promotion of sports, we hope that our work through ' La Casa de las Bicicletas ' will help to promote the state of Tlaxcala as a quality national and international cycling tourism destination," the accommodation explains.
